chromium Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Looking for an OFR in chrome (German only), if anyone has something in the parts pile. I'll probably snag a new a new system (FRT100-R3) online tomorrow, but thought I'd check here first... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor (Fret Friend) Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I have one in black (from around 1987) but I'm UK based and want more than you would probably like to pay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromium Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 Thanks, Victor. I'm looking for a chrome unit for this sparkly beast: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not the price I want I was considering the "1984" model which "captures the vibe and excitement of that era" (lol)... more to try out a brass block. I'm a late bloomer - still pretty new to the FR world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a late bloomer - still pretty new to the FR world. Be aware that the 1984 has wood screw posts. You'll prolly have to fill/redrill the current holes for a secure mounting. OTOH, the 1984 may work with the current studs. Don't know, never tried that. Additionally, it comes with the locked-in arm housing, so keep that in mind if you want to actually close the guitar case. Personally, I'd just go with the current OFR and call it a day.

chromium Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 Rob - thanks for the heads-up. I was thinking that same thing about the 1984's arm+case, but I did not think to look at the posts. I'm going to stick with the newer OFRs. That gold OFR in the pic is also a newer unit from my other single hum which is off being refinished - and that is want I want in a Floyd. This one came to me with a FR-1000 that was not blowing me away. 46 minutes ago, RobB said: Oooooh, my heart...Details! We. Want. DETAILS!! This is probably fundamentally a lot like the red one you picked up. It's an '08 USA SoCal that was modded a bit, and we landed on a price that I couldn't resist. Someone had refinished it in silver metal flake (really nice job!), swapped the hardware to chrome, and installed a mixed DiMarzio set - DP155 Tone Zone in bridge, and DP158 Evolution in neck. I did the temporary Floyd swap, a fret polish, new strings and setup last night... and it plays smooove! Love the necks on these - my kind of strat!
